- Burroughs Corporation Annual Report, 1983 - William Seward Burroughs and three other co-founders established the American Arithmometer Company in 1886 to produce simple addition and subtraction machines. Over the years, the company--later known as the Burroughs Corporation--innovated and expanded. Mergers with companies such as Moon-Hopkins and Sperry in the 20th century helped Burroughs become a leader in the calculating--and later computing--industry.

- DEC PDP-11/20 Minicomputer, 1970 - Digital Equipment Corporation's PDP 11 computers were popular, widely used machines in the era before personal computers. These 16-bit minicomputers ("mini" as opposed to the room-sized mainframe computers of the 1950s and '60s) were relatively inexpensive and were used for business (payroll, accounting), scientific, educational, and timesharing purposes. Many Americans were introduced to computing through PDP 11s installed at schools and offices beginning in 1970.

- Burroughs Corporation B21 and B22 Computer Workstations, 1982 - Burroughs Micro-Computer Systems could be networked in clusters, allowing multistation access and real-time editing of shared databases. The company called this "distributed intelligence architecture." The B20 series was modular, with options for hardware, software, expansion, and storage. The psychological and physiological needs of the user were considered, with interfaces that aided ease of use, designs with minimal heat and noise.

- NCR PC4 Personal Computer, circa 1985 - In the mid-1980s, the IBM PC dominated the personal computer market. A variety of "clones" like the PC-4 competed with IBM products, offering highly compatible software and peripheral hardware at a lower cost to the consumer. NCR's legacy is not in its cost, however, but in its interest to create an aesthetically and ergonomically distinguished clone system.
